Find trusted piano movers near you

Don't risk moving your large upright or grand piano alone. Moving such delicate furniture takes specialized skill, proper equipment, and a careful, well-planned approach. Professional piano movers can manage every stage of the process—from preparing the piano for transport to positioning it safely in its new location.

Whether you're coordinating a short-distance move, changing addresses, or relocating a piano within the same building, skilled piano movers can help ensure the job is completed safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary strain.

A typical piano moving service through Airtasker can include the following:

Pack and crate your piano

Your piano mover can secure your piano using specialized packing and crating methods designed to protect heavy instruments during transport. Large and bulky pieces like pedals, lyres, or backstays may be removed and stored in clearly labelled crates or boxes, while the main body of the piano is wrapped using blankets, pads, and shrink wrap to prevent movement or scratches. When needed, your Tasker may also suggest additional foam padding for extra protection.

If you're preparing for a bigger move, you may book a packing service to wrap and label your boxes, and ensure everything is ready for transport. You can also hire a move-in cleaner to help you settle into your new space faster once the piano and other items have been relocated.

Transport your piano safely

Your piano mover can load your piano safely into a climate-controlled moving truck and secure it to prevent shifting during the journey. They’ll use proper strapping techniques and protective barriers to minimise vibration, bumps, and sudden movement, helping your piano stay in good condition throughout the trip. Whether you’re moving a few streets away or relocating interstate, your Tasker will handle your instrument with care from pickup to delivery.

Relocate and set up your piano

Once your piano's in the new location, your piano mover will unload your piano and move it directly to your chosen room or performance area. The main body stays fully wrapped until reassembly begins to avoid marks or surface damage. If needed, your piano mover can help unpack, reassemble, and position your piano exactly where you want it.

You may also find it useful to book a Tasker for piano lessons, which is perfect if you’d like a quick refresher or want to get back into playing once your piano is set up.
